Yellow switched to dummy pintles on the pups and slack plungers on the converters a long time ago. Smart move IMHO. Easier to switch out a converter with a bad plunger than a pup loaded with freight with same.

Somewhere in the recesses my brain, I believe CF had the very same setup and agree, much better deal.

The problem will be mixing the equipment, Maybe I’ll buy a draggin wagon and profit from the mess!?!
Actually the congears with the plunger, ground congears, can be used with all the equipment. Freight gears not so much.

I think as a fedex freight driver it will mean we'll probably be getting some of their runs. Maybe be used as a switch point in our yards to get rid of their sleepers maybe. Idk. I'm guessing we'll be helping them alot more so they can get rid of some of their contractors.
I never saw any at CF.

I just enjoy the Freight guys bobtailing to cover Ground runs towing our dolly’s to pull their sets. That’s a lot of faith in the safety latch!
Don't they have safety chains?

Ahhh,
I was wondering why Freight was still hiring like mad, dispite being on the cusp of a recession.

Lol glass half full kinda guy. You'll learn driver. It took my twenty years to realize no change of ops benefits at least my barn anyways. Maybe they'll surprise me this time.
They always remind us how linehaul is the biggest expense of the company and how great ground is. My reply is always aren't we in the transportation industry? So transportation would be your biggest expense!
Back in 2010 when I was a dock worker some big wig came to our end of line center. He was a nice guy but he talked about how they wanted to bring everything under one roof. He said it would be a long time to figure out the logistics and equipment needed. This my be the first step in that direction.
